Chapter 78: *“She’s pulling on her life chain.“*

“Life chain?” Alora asked, confused.

“Yes. A life chain is something specific to Vampires and their offspring. After a Vampire’s offspring is born, a life chain will connect the two together. Or three if both parents are Vampire. It allows the offspring to contact their parent or parents in a time of need. It will also transmit strong feelings of the offspring to their parent or parents.” Selena explained. “Our life chain should be connecting us to our father.”

“This chain wasn’t visible till the spell on us was broken.” Xena said in a serious tone.

Xena’s tone had Alora looking at her, her head tilted slightly. “What’s on your mind?”

“I think the spell silenced our life chain, the same way it silenced Selena.” Xena said.

Selena looked down at the chain coming from her own chest and grabbed it. After studying it for a bit, her eyes went wide with a kind of shocked realization. “That means…he didn’t abandon us.”

Alora hadn’t really allowed herself to think about their real father since learning who he was. Alora knew her father was told they were dead after he had sought them out. The logical conclusion that could be drawn from that was that he at least planned to acknowledge their existence. Unfortunately, it didn’t stop the doubts from forming. ‘Would he like them, or would he despise them as Bettina, Allister, and Sarah had?‘

Alora looked down at the chain in her hand with a frown. There is only one way to find out if he’ll love us or hate us.‘ Alora thought, right before she gave the chain a good yank. When she did there was a sound, like a giant gong had been struck. The sound resonated so deeply she could feel it in her chest. Everything in their space vibrated from the sound, until it eventually dissipated.

both looking at Alora with wide–eyed expressions of surprise. Then Selena looked down at the chain she held and pulled hard. Another loud sound of a giant gong being struck resonated through their space. Xena looked down at her chain as the sound once again dissipated. After studying it for a moment, she grabbed it with her teeth and pulled it. Just as it did with Alora and Selena’s pulls, the sound of the giant
